    Foreign Market Entry Modes of Running Events -The Internationalization of Göteborgsvarvet Half Marathon

    Foreign Market Entry Modes of Running Events -the internationalization of GöteborgsVarvet Half marathon Jenny Cheng and Hanna Sundell Graduate School Master of Science in International Business and Trade Master Degree Project No. 2011:12 Supervisor: Harald Dolles Abstract Foreign Market Entry Modes of Running Events - The Internationalization of GöteborgsVarvet Half Marathon Jenny Cheng and Hanna Sundell Supervisor: Harald Dolles Sports events are becoming increasingly globally important in social and economic terms. The number of people traveling abroad aiming to participate in those events has strongly increased in recent years. However, in the world‘s largest half marathon - the ‗GöteborgsVarvet‘ - held annually in Gothenburg, Sweden, the rate of foreign participants is still relatively low. Although a wide range of studies have been conducted within sports and event management, the attention towards developing an internationalization strategy for such kind of events is relatively low. The aim of the thesis is to fill this gap, by analyzing the case of GöteborgsVarvet and developing possible foreign market entry modes. The modes discussed in the thesis rank from cooperative forms, e.g. joint venture and marketing alliances, to wholly owned modes, like sales outlets and qualification races. The survey is based on qualitative and quantitative data. The results indicate that, in addition to choosing a foreign market entry mode that fits the specific event, there needs to be a close fit between destination and event in order to be able to attract foreign runners. Furthermore, in order for the internationalization of GöteborgsVarvet to succeed, it requires for the organization of GöteborgsVarvet to truly find or develop motives for it.
  • Edinburgh Marathon

    Edinburgh Marathon

    Edinburgh Marathon The Edinburgh Marathon is the second largest marathon in the UK. It was first held in 1982 and since 2003 it has been held each year in May. It is part of the Edinburgh Marathon Festival. During the festival, runners can also take part in a Half Marathon, a Team Relay, a 10K (kilometre), a 5K, a Junior 5K, 2K or 1.5K as well as a Kid’s Kilometre. A marathon is a long distance running race. The official distance of a marathon is 42.195 kilometres or 26.219 miles. The marathon was one of the original events in the modern Olympic Games of 1896 but the distance was not made the same for every marathon until 1921. Hundreds of marathons are held around the world each year. The majority of runners at these events are not professional athletes. Many marathon runners are raising money by being sponsored to run for a chosen charity. Since 2003, runners taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival have raised over £30 million for hundreds of worthwhile causes. In 2016, 4 274 men and 2 322 women completed the Edinburgh Marathon. Each one received a medal and finisher’s t-shirt to mark their amazing achievement. The Edinburgh Marathon starts in London Road and Regent Road in central Edinburgh. Runners then pass by Holyrood Palace and run through Holyrood Park below Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh’s extinct volcano. The marathon carries on past Meadowbank Sports Stadium, where Commonwealth Games have been held and Scottish athletes have won medals for their running.

Although this type of decision can be disappointing for athletes, there are a number of factors that will affect the standard of team that may be sent to particular events and all of these will be taken into account. These may include the age of an athlete, the wishes of race promoters, the demands of the event (distance, conditions and course profile) and funding. The selected teams for the events in the programme will be funded by scottishathletics Road Running and Cross Country budget. For this programme to be successful and to ensure progress towards our aim of fielding Scottish athletes in GB Teams, our top endurance athletes and their coaches are encouraged to participate in this programme and plan their season accordingly. Please keep Mark Pollard ([email protected]) and / or members of the selection committee fully informed of athletes’ racing programmes, results, training progress, injuries, illness and availability for selection for those races on the programme.
